Different types of video watermarks
Watermarks come in several styles, and each serves a different purpose depending on how you want to protect or brand your content. Below, we'll explore the most common types of video watermarks so you can choose the one that best suits your editing needs.
- Text watermarks
Text watermarks are one of the simplest yet most efficient methods to claim ownership of your video. You can add your name, channel title, website, or even a tagline. They stand out clearly and reduce the chances of your content being copied without permission. You can also customize typography to match your brand identity.
- Logo watermarks
A logo watermark uses your business or brand symbol as a signature on your video. It instantly builds recognition because viewers start associating the logo with your content style. This watermark works especially well for influencers, companies, and YouTube creators.
- Transparent/opacity watermarks
These watermarks appear faint or partially see-through, so they don't distract from the main visuals. By lowering opacity, you maintain subtle branding while keeping the frame clean and minimal. Transparent watermarks work great for cinematic videos, travel clips, and product shots. They balance protection and aesthetics perfectly.
- Scrolling or animated watermarks
Animated or moving watermarks add movement across the screen, making them harder to crop out. They are ideal for high-value content, tutorials, or commercial projects where content protection is a priority. This type catches attention without overwhelming the scene if animation is kept smooth and light. It also adds a modern, dynamic touch.
- Embedded/invisible watermarks
Invisible watermarks are hidden within video data rather than being visibly placed on top. Although viewers can't see them, they allow creators to track ownership and identify unauthorized reuse using detection tools. This method is highly secure for professional media and intellectual property protection. It offers protection without altering the viewing experience.
Why do you need to remove watermarks from videos
No doubt, watermarks help protect content and maintain brand identity, but there are times when you may need a clean, distraction-free clip for editing or repurposing. Below, we'll explain why removing watermarks from videos can be important:
- Aesthetic enhancement
Removing watermarks gives your footage a professional and distraction-free appearance. It also helps maintain visual balance across scenes, especially when different clips are combined. Your content looks more intentional and professionally put together.
- Seamless branding integration
When you remove watermarks, you get full freedom to add your own branding. This makes your video look original and well-designed, rather than borrowed or stamped with another platform's branding. It also strengthens brand identity across social media and marketing materials.
- Enhanced viewer experience
Viewers stay more engaged when their attention isn't pulled away by text or logos on-screen. The overall flow of the video feels smoother and more comfortable to watch. Audiences are much more likely to view complete content they find visually pleasant.
- Higher perceived video quality
Watermark-free footage often feels more premium, even without editing enhancements. People naturally connect clean visuals with expertise and professionalism. The lack of obstructive branding enhances your video's overall impression and credibility.
- Easier sharing and repurposing
Without a watermark blocking the frame, videos can be resized, cropped, or reformatted for multiple platforms with minimal effort. Content becomes more flexible to reuse in ads, reels, stories, or presentations. This saves time, reduces extra work, and improves reach across channels.
How to remove a watermark on a phone with the CapCut mobile app
Here's how you can remove watermarks quickly using the CapCut mobile app:
- STEP 1
- Import the video
- Open the CapCut mobile app and tap New video.
- Select the video clip you want to edit from your gallery, then tap "Add" to import it into the timeline.
- Make sure the clip is fully loaded so you can see the end screen and any stamped logos.
- STEP 2
- Remove a watermark
- If the watermark is embedded on-screen (like a logo or text), use the "AI remove" tool.
- Brush over the watermark area and click "Remove."
- CapCut's AI fills the selected area by sampling nearby pixels to produce a natural-looking result, though effectiveness may vary depending on the background complexity.
- If the watermark is locked into a template or impossible to erase cleanly, try cropping the frame to exclude it, applying a subtle blur over the area, or adding a small branded sticker/graphic to cover it.
- STEP 3
- Export video without a watermark
Once the watermark is removed or hidden and the clip looks good in preview, you're ready to download the CapCut video with no watermark. Below are three straightforward export methods commonly used on mobile.
Delete the ending clip
Many CapCut projects include a short ending card that shows the CapCut logo; drag the timeline to the very end, tap the small ending clip, and delete it.
If the watermark appears only in that end segment, removing it instantly clears the logo without affecting the main footage.
Use the export without watermark option
When exporting, tap the icon next to "Export" (top-right), then open the "Watermark" option and select "Hidden." However, you need CapCut Pro for no watermark.
Use screen recording
- If other methods aren't available, play the final video in full-screen and record it using your phone's screen recorder; then trim the recorded file and save it.
- Screen recording can reduce quality slightly and may capture UI elements if not done carefully, so crop and check the resolution after recording.
